Caveat: the Colorado worksheet was retrieved via a reproduction, not a direct tax.colorado.gov page, and TABOR refunds are excluded.

The Denver occupational privilege tax is a flat dollar charge and is not in this figure.

Read this before you use the take-home figure. It is a single-filer estimate using the 2026 standard deduction. It leaves out credits, other deductions, local taxes, and retirement or health deductions. Your actual paycheck can differ, and for states without a verified 2026 table in this build, state tax is still to be added once its table is verified.
